The year is 987 ALB. Star Tower has been living in Everfrost, the ''capital'' of the Northern Tribes, for nearly a year. Mostly it's been quiet and peaceful, with a few nasty interruptions. Then, another interruption happens.

A semi-prequel to The Crystal Story: Flurry's Tale, describing one of the adventures of a younger Star Tower in the Northern Tribes. You do not need to read Flurry's Tale to understand this fic, but it might be handy for background information.

Important: this takes place in the Equestria At War universe. Equestria At War is a mod for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, be sure to check out their Discord and Reddit if you're not familiar with it. They also have a group on this site: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/212917/equestria-at-war

Rated M for violence, death and swearing.
